I've seen statues of people who wnet 'there', but this is the first time I see a statue of a guy who didn't?

It's a funny world.

"Artist Daniel Edwards said the memorial was intended to honor those willing but unable to serve in the Iraq conflict."

Thank you, Mr Edwards.

I think this is sick and morbid. It's publicity which gives credit to his potential terrorists killers and the artist is making money on the back of the fallen. I can't beleive that someone with such talent has such bad taste.
